Holy shit, did you watch the movie or did you just google “incel” looking for people to defend?

Owes them a partner so much that they’ll invent a woman in their head instead of talking to a woman in real life who may *gasp* have their own preferences and choices.

“Just as musicians now often give away their work”

(i) The debate is usually between Mass Romantic and Twin Cinema. Electric Version rarely gets a visitors pass to that debate.

I didn’t have my ear to the ground, but no mention of the Buzzwazzers, Hairy Henry & The Hens, or B*Witched? This is just mainstream crap!

I’m sorry I said something you didn’t like about your biopic.

Right, so an incel.

I hated the book’s ending so watching Kaufman’s vague, surreal take, knowing what it was alluding to, did nothing for me. But I’m genuinely curious what people who haven’t read the book take away from the movie and if it’s better than “it was just in some incel’s head”.

It’s designed to be shared in platform, not to be shared by an outside private equity firm to make money from.

Ohhh, you can just not pay people for their work if you say it was their work. Got it. Maybe we could call this system “exposure”.

I honestly think having read the book hurts the movie. I hated the book, and I didn’t like this, but I will admit, it’s vaguer than the book and I do wonder if that’s an advantage to the people who haven’t read the book and don’t know what the vagueness is suggesting.

Normally, I’d be angry if a publication stole jokes from twitter as a “best replies” article instead of a; paying people for their jokes, or b; hiring comedians to write original comedy for them. However, since the best replies include “what” and “what the fuck”, the AV Club can’t even steal jokes properly. This is…

The word “nugs” is a much greater evil than “boneless chicken wings”.

I think Mike O’Brien is taking a floating timeline approach.

I have an ocker friend who calls it “Facey-B”.

He would have gotten away with it, too, if it wasn’t for those meddling “natural causes”.

Oh man, if it’s one thing you need to take away from this list it’s that you should listen to I Wanna Destroy You.

Just as this column in the past introduced me to incredible, underlooked bands like Lync, now finally this generation will be able to discover the obscure indie artist Katy Perry, a person who has only sold a measly few 10s of millions of records.

“What if Batman, but dark?” is 15 years old at this point.
